Following a slow start, the Nuggets are out of the ditch. Denver is showing the ability that impressed gamblers during the 2020 NBA Playoffs. Center Nikola Jokic has emerged as a dominant big man. Jokic triggers a Nuggets offense that is one of the best in the NBA. Milwaukee is also in better form after a slow start. Consider the Bucks have been one of the best values in NBA betting for the past three seasons. Milwaukee and Giannis Antetokounmpo are a much bigger brand these days. That has made their value on the board harder to maintain.
